RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD<br />

The rubythroat is among the smallest <strong>of</strong> birds, weighing<br />

less than an ounce. They are astounding flyers that can move<br />

forward and backward as well as hover in flight. They have<br />

been clocked flying up to 60 mph. The adult male has a red<br />

throat and a slightly forked tail. The red is not a pigmented<br />

color; its appearance is dependent upon the angle <strong>of</strong> light<br />

falling upon the bird’s throat area. In dim or indirect light, the<br />

throat may appear black. Both sexes and all ages share the<br />

iridescent green back. Hummingbirds are seldom seen in<br />

large groups; they tend to be solitary creatures throughout<br />

their lives.<br />
